Carnival Cruise Lines will increase capacity on its 7-night Southern Caribbean itineraries from San Juan, as well as on its 4- and 5-night cruises from Miami, deploying newer, larger ships in both markets.
The 2,974-passenger Carnival Valor will launch a five-port, 7-night schedule from San Juan beginning Feb. 10, 2013, becoming the newest and largest ship to operate year-round from that port.
Carnival Valor will replace the 2,758-passenger Carnival Victory, which will reposition from San Juan to Miami to assume the Carnival Destiny's 4- and 5-night cruises beginning Feb. 4, 2013.
Additionally, Carnival Destiny will offer a 16-day transatlantic crossing departing Miami Feb. 4 and arriving Civitavecchia (Rome) on Feb. 20, 2013. Featured ports on the crossing include Ponta Delgada (Azores), Portugal; Malaga, Spain; Monte Carlo, Monaco; and Genoa and Livorno, Italy. Details on the Carnival Destiny's deployment following the trans-Atlantic crossing will be announced at a later date.
